For something different — and decidedly local — inspired by the DAM show, Museo de las Americas will present Fashion of the Americas from 6-8 p.m. Thursday. The dessert reception and show will feature five local designers: Carol Mier, who runs Carol Mier Fashion in the Art District on Santa Fe; Tina Joliffe of Fast Geek Boutique, Joie Delores, Joel Parada and Crystal Sharp. Each will present a capsule collection of 6-10 pieces in a runway presentation.

A performance by Central City Opera will open the show, which will be preceded by a dessert reception. A trunk show will follow. Buy tickets at the door: admission to the gallery is included in the $5 admission; VIP tickets are $15. 861 Santa Fe Drive; museo.org
